Abstract
Carbon dot (CD) obtained via one-step hydrothermal carbonization was attached to cellulose nanofiber (CNF) via physical blending and in-situ synthesis. The data represent the morphological, chemical and optical differences of the samples, according to the amount and introducing method of CD. The morphological durability of the samples was also shown. The water treatment membrane performance was analysed using methylene blue as a representative pollutant.
